Thanks for your reply. I don't have gpm installed. |

I'm not exactly sure what I should be looking for. I use this box to |
| 29 |
run MythTV. I know /dev/input/mouse0 used to exist and work. I've been |
| 30 |
away for 6 weeks. At one point while I was gone, the power went out at |
| 31 |
home. However today when I tried to get the system up and running, I |
| 32 |
booted, Xorg started, and MythTV started. I used a utility (as I have |
| 33 |
in the past) called nvtv to adjust the screen position. When using |
| 34 |
this, I set something wrong (as I have in the past) and the screen was |
| 35 |
no longer viewable via SVGA on my TV. As I've done previously, I used |
| 36 |
ssh from another computer and issued a 'shutdown -r now'. Ever since |
| 37 |
that reboot, xorg complains about /dev/input/mouse0 not being there. |

Here's the items I have from your suggestions: |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Sep 6 06:16 /dev/misc |
| 42 |
crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 1 Sep 6 06:16 psaux |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Sep 6 06:16 /dev/input |
| 45 |
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 13, 63 Sep 6 06:16 mice |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Sep 6 06:16 /dev/psaux -> misc/psaux |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Does any of this make sense? |
| 50 |

Thanks for your help. |
